How is the COVID-19 Pandemic Affecting Neurocritical Care?
There exists discord within the critical care community regarding the training of neurointensivists to care for patients with a broad range of medical illnesses outside of neurologic pathology. This discord may have affected deployment of neurointensivists in assisting with the large population of patients with COVID19. Furthermore, it is unclear how the re-allocation of resources during the pandemic affected other critically ill patients including those in the neuro-ICU.

Survey on the Utilization of the Ketogenic Diet for Adults with Status Epilepticus
Ketogenic diet has long been recognized as a promising treatment for children with drug-resistant seizures since its introduction in 1921; however, we suspect that this remains an underutilized tool for adults. We aim to assess the utilization of ketogenic diet and to identify potential barriers for its implementation in adults with status epilepticus.

Hourly Neuroassessments in the Intensive Care Unit
Frequent serial neuroassessments (“neurochecks”) are recommended for guidelines-based management of acute brain injury, though the frequency and duration of those assessments is often left unquantified with the exception of ischemic stroke management status post tPA administration. Nevertheless, hourly neurochecks have become common practice following acute brain injury. This survey seeks to assess attitudes of healthcare providers who 1) order these assessments, and 2) perform these assessments.

Provider experience with the use of ketamine for refractory status epilepticus
The neurocritical care unit sees a significant proportion of patients presenting with seizures that progress to either refractory or super-refractory status epilepticus, requiring the use of anesthetic infusions. Ketamine is an anesthetic medication that is being increasingly used for status epilepticus, however optimal usage protocols remain unknown. The purpose of this survey is to study provider perceptions, attitudes, and clinical practices regarding the use of ketamine for status epilepticus. Our survey will aim to understand the efficacy, dosage, administration, tolerability, contraindications, and optimal timing of administration of ketamine for this purpose.
